RECEIVED San Joaquin Valley COMm 1 0 2005 Air Pollution Control District mmunity Development oe . pt August 8, 2005 Reference No.C20050866 Kathy Allen San Joaquin County Community Development Department 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Subject: PA—0500469 (SU) [APN 159-100-07, 08, 09, 10 11 and 159-400-25j Ligurian Village Dear Ms. Allen: The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the project referenced above and offers the following comments: The entire San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is designated non-attainment for ozone and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to increased traffic and ongoing operational emissions. Preliminary analysis indicates that this project alone would not generate significant air emissions. However, the increase in emissions from this project, and others like it, cumulatively reduce the air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. A concerted effort should be made to reduce project-related emissions as outlined below: Based on the information provided, the proposed project will be subject to the following District rules. The following items are rules that have been adopted by the District to reduce emissions throughout the San Joaquin Valley, and are required. This project may be subject to additional District Rules. To identify additional rules or regulations that apply to this project, or for further information, the applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at (209) 557-6446. Current District rules can be found at http://www.vallevair.org/rules/1 ruleslist htm. Regulation Vlll (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)- Regulation VIII (Rules 8011-8081) is a series of rules designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction, road construction, bulk materials storage, landfill operations, etc. If a residential project is 10.0 or more acres in area, a Dust Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. A Compliance Assistance Bulletin is enclosed for the applicant. A template of the District's Dust Control Plan is available at: http://www.vallevair.org/busind/comply/PM1 0/forms/DCP-Form°/20-°/2010-14-2004.r) Rule 4002 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants). In the event that any portion of an existing building will be renovated, partially demolished or removed, the project will be subject to District Rule 4002. Prior to any demolition activity, an asbestos survey of existing structures on the project site may be required to identify the presence of any asbestos containing building material (ACBM). Any identified ACBM having the potential for disturbance must be removed by a certified asbestos-contractor in accordance with CAL-OSHA requirements. If you have any questions concerning asbestos related requirements, please contact Mr. Dwayne England of this office at (559) 230-5973, or contact CAL-OSHA at (559) 454-1295. An Asbestos Requirements Bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant.
